1. You mean...
The enhanced interrogation conducted and concluded by 2003 on KSM, which led..... 8 years later to the killing of OBL? Wow, that's vitally important and quick information!

Also, the building where OBL was living -- and eventually killed -- was not constructed until 2005. I guess KSM had the blueprints and the location of the villa in his head prior to 2003 when he was waterboarded.

Boy, talk about facts, or the lack of it, coming from O'Reilly.

2. Torture is not something
Edited on Thu May-05-11 08:15 PM by AsahinaKimi
that anyone should be proud of, for any reason. Intelligence can be stolen, spies can be used, computers can be hacked, satellites can be employed, bugs can be planted, informants can be bought, information with countries exchanged, and there are various other ways of obtaining intel. From what I have read and heard, finding OBL did not come from any information that was taken from Torture.

It seems not only do Republicans WANT TO SEE THE BLOODY GORY photos, they still find barbaric torture methods as exciting as porn. Many are just thirsty for snuff porn, and its the way they were brought up..to win at ANY COST.

7. The Republicans want to jeopardize American Lives for politcal gain
Let's face it, no Republican would be happier than for the photos to be released, have it cause some American city destroyed solely for the purpose of being able to blame Obama. These are the real Americans?

5. I must've missed the part where he showed proof that it
was waterboarding that led to killing OBL. Where is that proof then? (And if it even did exist, yes, I still disagree with torturing people).

6. No respect for scientific principals
Edited on Fri May-06-11 08:59 AM by 90-percent
The consensus from intelligence professionals is that torture simply doesn't work. It results in bogus information and lies and fabrications.

The contention that torture works is only the opinion of the torture advocate. They are only revealing themselves to be ignorant and cruel and stupid.

Obama is starting to show the clear benefits of qualified, wise, educated, and thoughtful leadership.

I want people in charge that have beautiful, gifted and generous minds. Leading our nation of 300 million demands a brilliant leader that can bring out the best in all of us. ESPECIALLY OUR TOTALLY CORRUPTED INSTITUTIONS!

If America does not lead wisely, the rest of the world will simply kiss us all off as a nation of treacherous cretins and move on to their better futures without the USA. Thanks to so many accomplishments Obama has already achieved, I hope the rest of the world is saying to themselves; "Hey wait a minute, America may not be as hopeless and toxic as we thought. Maybe we should give this Obama guy some more time before we ostracize the USA from the World Community?"

Fact: We used torture - Japan had a nuclear meltdown

Fact: We used torture - The levees broke in New Orleans

Fact: We used torture - Justin Bieber got famous

Coincidence?
